FemurIHKH Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Hello, I'm looking for an ID on a relatively well preserved marine fossil found in a south florida gravel bed with many bivalve and brachiopod fossils nearby. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbi Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 It appears to me as a rock. Perhaps an quartz. Sorry, I don't see any indication of fossil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darbi Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Maybe it's a chert with calcite crystal, not sure which. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caldigger Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Quite a few bivalve shells in Florida developed yellow Calcite crystals inside and are relatively sought after by collectors. Good find! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FemurIHKH Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Thank you, it is definitely calcite within. Right now my working theory is that it's a Tagelus species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeschWhat Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 It looks crabby to me, but not an expert. Lori www.areallycrappystory.com/fossils www.facebook.com/fossilpoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
